Mallowney was a very useful chaser when last seen in 2015 but hasn't run for over two years. He's a massive 25lb lower over hurdles so if fit enough can make his presence felt. The veteran Realt Mor is also much better known as a chaser but he won a 2m4f handicap hurdle here in January though this looks on the short side. HIGH SCHOOL DAYS (NAP) was in good form throughout the summer and gained reward by completing a double when the ground turned testing. Not surprisingly he's shot up the weights but is only four and progressing fast enough to defy the extra. Tintown Robin is a couple of pounds out of the handicap but has won twice and been regularly placed at this level so could snatch a place.
